Special Guest Josh Garrels, Pt. 1 - Episode #363

{subtitle}

We fell in love with the music of Josh Garrels in the early days of UTR, and hundreds of folks have cited us as being the place they discovered his talent. On this episode I say "he might be one of the most important indie artists of our generation" - and that's not hyperbole. His rise in popularity and his success as an artist are revered by many inside and outside the music industry, and many indie artists look at Josh as an inspiration. This one-of-a-kind artist doesn't tour significantly, and doesn't do too many interviews with the media. But he was gracious to give us an extended interview, which will be shared in this week's and next week's UTR episodes. We go a bit more in-depth with Josh as well. What song off of "Home" took a left turn? Why does he feature instrumental tracks? What does he think of 5 year plans? These and other questions are tackled. Besides Josh's music, we'll also be playing requests by UTR listeners. Enjoy this third-to-last radio program! [Don't forget, we have a Kickstarter Campaign now through 11/15, and we could use your help to do a creative relaunch of the ministry in 2017.] (Dave)
